Akhil Kumar celebrates independence by knocking out the world champion

August 16th, 2008

The Indian surprise of the tournament is showing the world, never to under-estimate new talents or new names!

He out boxed the French Ali Hallab, a silver medalist in the world championship, and just ended knocking out and away, Russia’s WORLD CHAMPION Sergey Vodopyanov, on whom all sports betting sites were counting, in bantam weight division. Score was recounted by judges who tied the game 9-9 before re-calculation going in favor of the talented 27 years old Indian.

As Vodopyanov fell in tears, Akhil declared that being between the final 8 is the best way to celebrate his country’s independence. He will be boxing Veaceslav Gojan from Moldova, betting on a gold medal, and nothing less.

I wonder if sports betting sites and sheets will correspond with India’s talent; one thing is for sure, he definitely is a crowd magnet, as boxing tickets’ supply is falling short to demand.
